BOZEMAN, Mont. — Montana State University men’s head basketball coach Matt Logie completed his roster for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
The Bobcats won the three straight Big Sky Conference Tournament Championships with three trips to the NCAA Tournament from 2022 to 2024. But it’s a new chapter in Bozeman, with only three returning members from those championship teams.
MSU’s roster was overhauled after losing six players to graduation and five to the transfer portal. The Bobcats retained five players from the 2024-25 season that ended with a 15-18 record, and added seven transfers and three incoming freshmen.
The five returning Bobcats are redshirt senior guard Patrick McMahon, senior guard Jed Miller, senior guard Jeremiah Davis and walk-ons in junior forward Calum Rutherfurd and sophomore forward Grayson Gaddis.
In the 2024-25 season, McMahon started in 18 of 33 games and was third for the team in scoring and rebounding. He averaged 9.9 points on 51.1% shooting, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 23.3 minutes per game.
Miller came off the bench in all 33 games and led the team in steals and second in assists. He averaged 3.7 points on 31.8% shooting from 3-point range, 2.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 17.7 minutes per game.
Davis appeared in eight games in nonconference play before sitting out the rest of the season with an injury. He scored in double figures against USC (11) and Northwest Indian College (10), but averaged 3.5 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.1 minutes per game.
Montana State’s seven incoming transfers include Manhattan Christian alum and junior guard Seth Amunrud (Dawson Community College), graduate guard Davian Brown (Biola University), brother of former Bobcat Darius Brown II, junior guard Cavin Holden (Central Washington), redshirt sophomore forward Christian King (Washington), sophomore forward Jaden Steppe (Colorado State), graduate forward Chris Hodges (Wisconsin), and Gambia native and junior forward Waka Mbatch (Florida State).
The three incoming freshmen are guard C.J. Purdie from Davidson, North Carolina, guard Howie Keene from The Woodlands, Texas, and forward James Steward from Tempe, Arizona. Purdie and Keene both signed during the early signing period on Nov. 15, 2024, and Steward finalized the 2025-26 roster by signing on May 20.
Montana State will look to build its chemistry in the summer and fall before the 2025-26 season begins in November.
